Grass looks like rocks (Sometimes)

[Chenoah]

This issue is related to Verdant. Version 1.6c which is the one I prefer. This does not occur with the newest version. My grass looks like rocks at times. If I switch the angle it will appear as grass, at other angles it looks like stone that I can walk through. Load order is as follows.

 

Edit: My below claim that it only happens with 1.6c was incorrect, it happens with all versions.

I have since done a lot of trouble shooting and found it is a Verdant 1.6 c and Skyrim Flora Overhaul conflict. I load Verdant after SFO as instructed but when deactivated this error no longer occurs. It also does not occur with the newer version of Verdant but I would really like to solve the issue with the version I use.

Hello Chenoah,

 

Do you use LOOT to sort your mod order? I know it isn't fool proof but it might have caught that mistake.

 

Regarding the version of Verdant you use, it seems the older one had a patch to deal with this problem, but that patch wasn't 100% and it may have been abandoned since. This may be part of the reason they created a newer version, to address this particular issue.

 

Maybe the patch is somewhere in the Old Files section?

[Chenoah]

Yes, I use LOOT. I wondered the same about the patch. I found an old reddit post that mentioned it but when I checked the old files I did not see any patch files in there unless I somehow overlooked it. I am starting to accept you might be right since 1.6c isn't supported anymore. It's so much more beautiful in my opinion though.

[Chenoah]

It is both versions that are affected I was wrong :S I am not sure I will resolve this but here is screenshots showing how it changes appearance four times.

First looks like sea grass, then regular grass/weeds then a messed up berry bush and finally a rock. All depends on the angle.

[Chenoah]

I wanted to update this thread in case anyone comes across this issue themselves. The mod you use to patch and fix the issues is here. It does remove the lush green grass around markarth with version 1.6c. I didn't test other versions. This seems to be the only grass affected. However, the rock grass is gone.

I would like to note that this wasn't solved by myself and give credit to TheObstinateNoviceSmith. Thank you so much! :smile:
